Honestly, recently there haven't been many anime's that have caught my eye that have not been directly pulled from a manga or light novel, but then I came across this gem. aside from the slight hesitation due to the way they pilot the mechs, this anime has drawn me in so that i'm tuning on within 10 minutes of it's new episode every week. The animation and graphics are amazing, and the fight scenes draw you in, but the thing I like most is the interpersonal drama and relationships between the characters. There was more than one scene that made me start to tear up and I could feel the emotions of the characters. If I had to compare this to another anime, I'd say the setting and the fight scenes are similar to Gurren Laggan, while the drama is similar to Spice and Wolf, in that it is as intense as Spice and Wolf, but with a little more focus on the web of connections between characters, not just 2 of them, while it does an excellent job displaying the fact that these pilots are not hardened adults, but growing teens with their own issues of relationships and learning the truth about the world and themselves. and this anime made me tear up ad much as Plastic Memories due to all the gripping drama scenes.
